Hello, I have located the following obituary for my ancestor, Ever Rasmussen Tomren, who died March 16, 1931 in Hawthorne, CA. It lists his address as 424 Menlo Ave., Hawthorne, CA. I am interested in the existence of any old maps of this area to see whereabouts this property was. I've driven down today's Menlo Ave. but the numbers do not correspond. Also, family history has it that Ever's son Ingvald had a chicken farm in Lennox - possible that these properties were one and the same. I am not familiary with researching land records in this area. Any help would be appreciated. THank you very much! Holly Tomren > E.R. Tomren > Herved bekjendtgjøres for Slekt og Venner, at min kjære Mand Ever Andreas > R.
